Rescript
Edmund de Waal's *Rescript* features delicate porcelain vessels adorned with celadon and red glazes that settle into impressed designs pressed directly into the clay body, creating a quiet dialogue between surface and depth. The pieces are arranged within a painted wooden vitrine or shelf structure, a hallmark of de Waal's practice, where the architecture of containment becomes as meaningful as the objects themselves. The work reflects de Waal's ongoing meditation on memory, accumulation, and the weight of history carried within fragile, handmade forms.
